Sony shows off 16.4MP Mobile phones camera sensors

Sony has showed two of the latest Technology on Mobile phones Caemra Sensors up to 16.4 MegaPixel and another one 8.1 MegaPixel. The two sensors IMX081PQ (16.4MP) and IMX105PQ (8.1MP) use Sony Exmor R technology, which so far has been used in still and video cameras. The 16.4MP module has a 1/2.8 back illuminated CMOS image sensor with the smallest pixel size 1.12 microns. The second module has a 1/3.2 sensor with pixels 1.4 microns in size.

Sony is aware of the common problem but they say their proprietary technology and unique photo diode formation compensate for the small size they even provided a couple of shots to prove it. Of course, we'll believe it when we see it.

Both camera modules can shoot 720p and 1080p at 30 frames per second, while the 16.4MP sensor can do 720p@60fps too. Sony has developed a couple of lens modules too, which have been downsized enough to fit in a mobile phone.
